"Speaking of Child Emperor, what meeting will be held under the agreement? Does it require the participation of our professional heroes?"
This is unprecedented.
"King, do you know the origin of the Heroes Association?" Tong Di walked side by side with King on the road to the association headquarters, and said solemnly: "Since the monster disaster appeared, human beings have been facing huge pressure to survive. At that time, most people The rich man Agni came forward to call on social elites to form a hero association, recruit powerful men to become professional heroes, and eliminate and resist all weird disasters."
"Ok, I know."
The king nodded. These are common sense and almost everyone knows them.
"Now the Heroes Association has entered its fourth year. The original association system has exposed many problems. At the same time, due to the undisciplined and excessive destructive behavior of some heroes, as well as the heroes' various ugly behaviors such as internal strife and lack of cooperation, the public has been disappointed. I have gradually lost trust in the association. In fact, this problem has gradually come to the fore in the past year. Until the Weird Association invaded the city, many heroes failed miserably, and the weirdos caused mischief in the city. This made the situation worse, causing citizens to have a serious crisis of trust in the association, and even more Some unknown people secretly instigated the public's dissatisfaction with the association, which has gradually become more and more intense. A wave of collective criticism has formed. Major unscrupulous media rushed to report scandals such as Hero Association employees misappropriating public donations, and fabricated the association to become a rich man. The rumors of exclusive bodyguards were bombarded by the media, and the image of the hero also plummeted, exacerbating the public's crisis of trust in the association... "
King sighed, "I don't feel the people's ill will towards us at all..." Are I too stupid
Emperor Tong licked the lollipop and said with a smile, "Of course, because King, you are the number one unshakable hero in the hearts of the people, so even if the association is riddled with scandals, the praise of King in the news has never changed. , this is the honor that King deserves to win with his strength."
"Maybe!" King said unequivocally: "This situation is indeed very bad, but the association should have enough time to adjust and correct it, right?"
With monster disasters becoming more and more frequent, the Hero Association is still a talisman for the people no matter how bad it is. They may complain that the talisman is not easy to use, but they will never give up their only means of saving lives.
"Indeed, the association's top management once held the idea that the association was the only heroic organization and that no matter how much the people complained, they could not do anything about it. This led to the association's reputation gradually declining. Now... a more terrifying crisis has arisen. According to intelligence, a man named' The New Hero Association's emerging hero organization is being formed. They are tapping the association's outstanding talents through various methods. They are also absorbing and innovating the technical knowledge accumulated by the association over the years on preventing monster disasters. The relevant systems of the New Hero Association have also learned from the lessons of our association. , more complete and superior.”
Tong Di bit his lollipop and introduced: "In addition, the heroes of the New Heroes Association no longer call themselves professional heroes, but call themselves new heroes. King, you should know something about the number of registered heroes in our association. The latest data shows that the number of heroes in our association is only more than 600, while the number of heroes in the new hero association has reached... more than 2,000. What's worse is that all the outstanding heroes of our hero association will use various methods. Say hello and find out what everyone means. I heard that many people have already taken action, and even the S-class heroes, the pillars of the association, may also change jobs. "
"I see… "
King suddenly remembered that Wu Chi and others had persuaded him to join an emerging hero organization, probably the New Heroes Association. Are they already working heroes of the New Heroes Association
"Actually, the association has long been aware of the shortage of heroes. After wiping out the Weird Association, they have stepped up their efforts to recruit strong men hidden among the people. However, without exception... they all failed."
The Child Emperor said in a serious tone: "Because... these strong men all chose to join the New Heroes Association."
"So, even if the New Heroes Association has not yet been established, its power will definitely not be weaker than our association, or even stronger."
"For the people... it should be a good thing!"
"Well, but for the association, the New Heroes Association is a huge threat." Emperor Tong said with a smile: "So, they summoned us here probably to test our intentions and try to retain us as much as possible."
"Good at calculating."
…
At the same time, at the association’s high-level meeting.
"I don't agree. In order to prevent S-class heroes from being poached by the New Heroes Association, asking them to sign long-term labor contracts is simply stupid and ridiculous."
Xiqi glared at Marcoi on the opposite side.
"Minister Xiqi, don't be so angry. We are just discussing solutions to the crisis facing the association..." Marcoi spread his hands and smiled: "Maybe my proposal is terrible, but it is a solution, isn't it?"
"Director Marcoi, please respect the profession of heroes." Xiqi punched the conference table and roared: "Our association is an organization established to recruit heroes for the purpose of 'executing justice'. We are not What kind of company, and professional heroes are not our employees. The relationship between us is not superior and subordinate. We are partners at most. Judging from the establishment of the New Hero Association, we have gradually lost the support of the people. If the heroes' If we let them switch to the New Heroes Association, then our association will not face a crisis, but bankruptcy."
"Minister Xiqi, you are too angry. Please be patient. Everyone is just expressing their opinions. The original intention is to solve the problems faced by the association. Don't hurt the harmony."
Other senior executives tried to persuade Xiqi to calm down and not get angry.
"However, what Minister Xiqi said makes sense. The relationship between the association and the heroes is indeed a cooperative relationship, not an employment relationship. It is indeed inappropriate to require the heroes to sign a treaty that binds them when the New Hero Association is recruiting soldiers. Ma Director Keyi’s suggestion is invalid, but we still want to thank Director Marcoi for his hard work for the association, thank you very much.”
"It's okay." Marcoi looked at Xiqi and smiled: "Minister Xiqi, I apologize for my ridiculous suggestion. I'm sorry, but I just hope to help the association get through this difficulty. Please don't mind."
"No, I should be the one to apologize." Xiqi took a deep breath, "I was too excited just now."
"Stop, no need to say more polite words. Do you have any other good suggestions for the establishment of the new Heroes Association?"
"I don't think there is any need to target the New Heroes Association..."
Xiqi said slowly.
"Um?"
Other senior executives looked at Xiqi in confusion, "How do you say that?"
"As we all know, as monster disasters become more and more frequent, the problem of manpower shortage in our Hero Association has become more and more prominent. Nowadays, the construction of the association headquarters and the recruitment of many A-level heroes to the headquarters have led to a shortage of high-level heroes in some places around the world. , and the New Heroes Association appeared at just the right time. They seized our weak points, took the opportunity to go out, promote their ideas among the people, and quickly opened up the scene. Now it has become a trend, and we have almost no way to prevent the establishment of the New Heroes Association. However, There is no need for us to stop them, because their appearance just makes up for our manpower shortage, which is a good thing for the people. If we oppose it, it will only deepen the people's dislike of us, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
Xiqi glanced at the senior management of the association present and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, we have successfully won the favor of the world's richest people. The association's funds are already abundant, enough to maintain the operation and development of our association. So, in fact, we Apart from losing the support of some people, the association has no other major crises. As long as we can correct the shortcomings in the system and personnel in a timely manner, we can gradually restore people's support... "
"Right now, our most important problem is to stabilize the S-class heroes and prevent outstanding heroes from leaving. As long as they are still there, our association will survive."
